Jewish Community

The Jewish community of Mönchsdeggingen was founded in 1684 and existed until April 25, 1879.

The small stamp is a so-called thimble stamp, - in this case from Oettingen. Interesting are also the Hebrew characters on the side.

On 06.08.1992 the Jewish Community of Oldenburg was re-established. The community caused a sensation because gender equality was put in the foreground: During the founding meeting, 18 participants* were present, both male and female, reflecting the community's desire for gender equality.

The Jewish community "Kahal Adass Yisroel" has its founding celebration only in January 2014, but its history dates back to the 19th century. The members of the community see themselves as heirs of the "Adass Yisroel" community from before the Shoah. That congregation distinguished itself in being based on Rabbi Esriel Hildesheimer's ideas of conducting Jewish tradition alongside modernity as a way of life.

The Jewish community "Adass Yisroel zu Berlin" was founded in 1869 in Berlin as a counter-movement to the reform-oriented Jewish Community of Berlin. The tradition-conscious community received official recognition from detuschen Kaiser and King of Prussia in 1885 as a religious community with equal rights to the Jewish Community of Berlin. Since 1940, the center of the community has been located at Tucholskystraße 40 in Berlin-Mitte (formerly Artilleriestraße 31). The community hall as well as synagogue and other facilities of the community are located there.
